(Return tabled) Question No. 73 Ms. Denise Savoie: With respect to the pending sale of the CANDU reactor division of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited: (a) what analysis, if any, has the government conducted into the impact of this sale on (i) Canada’s national security, (ii) energy resilience, (iii) global nuclear non-proliferation, (iv) human rights, (v) global security, and what are their results; (b) what is the full amount of federal funds dispersed to Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, from its inception to present, from 2000 to date, and in the last available fiscal year; (c) what is the amount of federal funds dispersed to Atomic E ...[+++]nergy of Canada Limited specifically for the CANDU reactor division, from its inception to present, from 2000 to date, and in the last available fiscal year; (d) what is the government’s estimated surplus or shortfall between the total federal funds dispersed for the CANDU reactor division and the expected sale price of the division; (e) by what other means does the government plan to recover the federal funds dispersed for the CANDU reactor division in the future, and what is the estimated amount to be recovered; (f) what is the division’s net income from its inception to present, from 2000 to present, and for the last available fiscal year; (g) what is the estimated market value of the division; (h) what is the government’s target sale price of the division; (i) what is the government’s full assessment of the present market outlook for CANDU reactor division, including potential for sales and competitive challenges from next-generation light-water reactors; and (j) what steps has the government taken, or will the government take, to ensure that this sale will never result in the enrichment of plutonium to weapon-grade status by any actor as a result of CANDU reactors?

I can't speak with any great knowledge of the particular project in Montreal, but I can say, with respect to Bill C-30 in front of the committee and the amendments spoken thereto, in particular subclause 46(2), which talks about amending section 20 of the Energy Efficiency Act, that what we are suggesting with respect to this act is that the federal government establish a continued revolving loan fund to help kick-start municipal energy efficiency projects, including those ...[+++] targeting water and waste water treatment facilities, street lighting, and building energy performance.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF HOUSEHOLD REFRIGERATION APPLIANCES The Council reached substantive agreement by a qualified majority, with the Italian delegation voting against, on the common position on the proposal for a Directive on energy efficiency requirements for household electric refrigerators, freezers and combinations.

- 4 - Energy related measures for curbing CO2 emissions could include improvements in energy efficiency (better insulation, more efficient light bulbs, fuel efficient cars etc), switching to less polluting fuels (lignite is more than twice as polluting as natural gas), increased use of non-polluting energy sources and, for the longer term, introduction of non-carbon based energy systems.
